Forgive me for asking…but what is so wrong about raising taxes to some negotiated extent on the most wealthy taxpayers in the US?

Why do you think the "rich" need to be taxed more? They already pay almost all the taxes. So where does it end? If you "tax the rich" 2% more next year, what makes you think the left won't ask for 2% more the next? Then 2% more the next year, etc. Again, where does it end? The left will ALWAYS want to tax the rich more, because ultimately they want government to determine outcomes rather than just provide a playing field where everyone can use their god given talents to create, compete and make the best life they can.

Why do you think you deserve more money from the "rich"? How many poor people have hired you? What happens to people when they are over taxed and have the option of simply going somewhere else?

Honestly surprised to see a question like this here.

Yes, and companies move offshore to avoid punitive tax rates and then the corporations are demonized for cutting emploees to avoid rhe highest corporate tax rates in the world.
